Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter

Once you have your discounted tickets and your hotel reservations, it is important to know exactly what those special privileges that only resort guests receive are. These include Extra Magic Hours (admittance into the theme parks before they open to the public and after they close on select days), in which resort-only guests get to experience the best attractions with much lesser crowds. If you are flying into Orlando International Airport, you can also take advantage of Disney’s Magical Express Transportation, which picks you up and takes you to your Walt Disney World Resort hotel free of charge. Transportation is also complimentary on-site at your resort hotel, as you can hop on a bus and be shuttled anywhere on property without ever having to spend a dime to park or worry about how to get where. There are other resort benefits as well, such as the Disney Dining Plan, an offer where you can save 40 percent on dining on over 100 restaurants across property, as well as complimentary package delivery and amazing facilities that only Walt Disney World Resort guests can enjoy.

While all of the privileges are the same for Walt Disney World Resort guests, the hotels themselves couldn’t be any more different. Each resort on property has its own unique theme that is carried throughout, from the exterior décor to the pools and recreation to the actual rooms. At Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter, you will find one of the liveliest themes – Mardi Gras! Guests here will experience the majesty of this event 365 days a year amidst a re-creation of New Orleans’ famous French Quarter.

At Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter, guests will enjoy a plethora of amenities and recreation opportunities. Adults and kids alike will love the Mardi Gras-themed pool, arcade, playground, bike rentals and horse drawn excursions, and there are also watercraft rentals, a jogging trail and fishing opportunities available at this resort. Among the amenities you will experience include limited room service, babysitting and child services, laundry facilities and self-parking. Guests can also dine at the food court or enjoy American cuisine influenced with flavors of the south at Boatwright’s Dining Hall, a casual family restaurant.
